Drifting Away chords by Roy Orbison

Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO:
F               C              F
Sadness slips into the room on silent
         C
steps of sorrow.
G                  C              D
Stealing sleep and all my dreams, where
             G
will we be tomorrow?


#1.
C                                Dm
Lying with you, crying with you, drifting.
G                               C
Talking till dawn, yet we go on drifting.
C

Don't understand where we began just drifting
 F    C F
apart.
          Em            Dm     G        C
Drifting apart, feeling alone, drifting away.


#2.
C                Dm           G
We can't seem to work it out, drifting from
       C
day to day.
           Dm         G        Am
What is it all about, drifting away?
         G              C
Drifting away, drifting away, losing the feeling..
C                                        F
and now the music of that song is almost gone..
                C
that we used to play.
           Em    E    G            C         Am
From sweet surrender..to drifting away..(awaaaay.)
Fm    G
Drif..ting.


#3.
C                                    Dm
Two lovers lost, two rivers crossed, drifting.
G                                      C
Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting.
       G         C
Lonely together, hurting each other, still we can't
              F
say that it's over.
Dm           C            Am
Can we bring back yes-ter-day?
               D                        G
Will we be for-e-ver, (forever) forever drifting..
         C   Am7           C
(away) awaaaaaay? (away?)..ayyyyyyyy?




OUTRO:
F          G           F         C
Drifting,  drifting, a-way-ay-ay-ay..(Fade.)
